2014 HIGHLIGHTS
Last summer, Alice Hyde Medical
Practices was recognized by the
National Committee for Quality
Assurance under the Patient-
Centered Medical Home

processes that focus on highly
coordinated care and long-term
participative relationships.
The medical home is a new
concept for care that puts the
patient at the center of the
process. It emphasizes
coordinating care and
communication through a
primary care provider. Your medical
home is the centralized hub for all
of your care. It provides a new,
expanded type of care—
coordinating all your health care
needs, from helping you stay healthy
by reminding you of preventive
checkups and tests, to working with
you to manage chronic conditions,
visits to specialists, hospital
admissions and more. Research
shows that having a medical home
can lead to higher-quality care and
lower costs and improve patients’
and providers’ reported experiences
of care. The medical home is
Our patients stand at the center of

teams that provide for all
the patient’s health care
needs and coordinate
treatments across the
health care system.
